James Malm: No BBQing, Buying Gas, Eating Out on Saturdays, But If You Do Eat Out You Might As Well Pay For A Whore Too!

The chief Pharisee of the Churches of God is back today laying down the law on what is proper and not proper for Saturdays.

At no time should you fire up the BBQ on Saturdays and cook yourself a steak or beef hot dog.  No fixing salads or taking effort to cut a watermelon.  You should do that on Fridays anyway!

If you have to drive a distance to church then fill up on Friday and DO NOT spend extra money for gas if you need to get home!  If you have to do that then you are driving too far.

You are not allowed to bake, boil, simmer or seethe on Saturday.  I know a lot of seething church members by the end of some of the sermons, are they allowed to seethe too?

Exodus 16:22
“And it came to pass that on the sixth day, they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses. And Moses told them, this is that which the Lord hath said. Tomorrow is the rest of the Holy Sabbath unto the Eternal. Bake that which you will bake today. And seethe or simmer or boil that which you will seethe today and that which remains overlay for you to be kept until the morning.” And in giving this command, Jesus Christ was telling the people that they are not to bake, or simmer, or boil, or  to seethe. They are not to do any kind of cooking on the Sabbath Day. No serious cooking of any kind.

Now I myself will go ahead and put a piece of bread in the toaster. Or warm up some water for a coffee or a tea. Or even heat up a previously prepared container of soup. Or warm up something on a cold winter’s day up here in Canada. But I am not going to start frying a steak, or barbecuing, or roasting meat, or boiling potatoes, or doing any kind of serious cooking. Cooking is for the preparation day; which is the day before the Sabbath.

What about the person who has to drive 30 or 40 miles to attend a service? All I can say is fill up your gas tank on Friday. Prepare a little boxed lunch on Friday. Do your preparation on Friday.  

No, absolutely not. No extensive travel and no travel for personal reasons. Travel should be for Godly reasons, should be very, very limited in scope and duration; and should not involve any expense. If you have to buy an extra tank of gas on a Sabbath, the trip is too far. Don’t go. Make some kind of other arrangement. It can be done. Things can be worked out. You can work around these things and truly make God’s Sabbath a delight.  

So now you have done all these things are at church and have set through the most god awful sermon ever preached.  Afterwards you turn to your friend and start talking about it, or your kids, or the latest world news event.  If you do that you are a grievous sinner bound to t the lake of fire because you have PROFANED Saturday!

A convocation is ONLY holy if it is God centered!  If you go to a service to hear a sermon and then talk ONLY about work and business, the weather, clothes and babies you have PROFANED that convocation and God’s sabbath.  Out of one’s mouth come those things that are dearest to one’s heart Mat 12:34.  If your heart and mind are not on the things of God, your mouth will reveal this.  

God forbid if you friend invites you out to eat after church on Saturday.  If you do that you might as well go find a whore and pay her (or him) too.  It is a sin to do that, a MAJOR sin since Malm has it all in CAPS.

It is NOT LAWFUL to buy goods and services in restaurants or other establishments.  To say that we may buy, because they are going to work anyway, makes a mockery of God’s way.  For that excuse justifies ALL SIN; there is NO SIN that men are not going to do ANYWAY!  Let us then use the whore, for she will do it anyway.  Why not have our enemy murdered, for the killer will kill anyway.  This is a juvenile and pathetic excuse to justify SIN. 

Pharasee Malm wants you to know that he is SINLESS when it comes to these rules.  He has not sinned on Saturdays in 30 years!

I ask YOU;   WHERE IS YOUR FAITH?   If you make an HONEST EFFORT TO PLEASE GOD,  don’t you think that He WILL HELP YOU?  Most problems involving Sabbath pollution through buying and selling can be resolved simply and easily, with a little forethought, planning and effort. I have avoided this sin for thirty years and it has been difficult at times but God has always provided a way.

Talk about convoluted legalistic crap!

PCG Acolytes Make Second Trek to Where the "Gestation Took Place" and are SHOCKED at the Number of Books They Saw!

Only in the cult of Flurrydumb would you have groups of "faithful" walking around neighborhoods staring into peoples homes and businesses as they naively feel they are walking on holy ground!

Check out the article with a picture of the sheeple standing in front of a private home in awe struck worship:   Members From Northwest Retrace the Footprints of Herbert W. Armstrong

OREGON—Members from the Northwest region gathered on March 16 for the year’s second church history tour of the landmarks from the early Philadelphia era of God’s Work. The group visited sites in the city of Portland, led by James Lowry and his wife, Jessica. The tours were put together through hours of research of Herbert W. Armstrong’s co-worker letters, articles and autobiography, as well as library microfiche, old newspaper clippings, phone books and advertisements.

“If Eugene was the birthplace of the Philadelphia work,” Mr. Armstrong wrote, “then Portland was where the gestation took place.”

The group of pilgrims drove to Portland where they looked at the buildings and holy ground that HWA and his brother Russell worked.  Really????   The article says that building is "...now a moss-covered and dilapidated structure slated for demolition"  I think that is perfect description of the dilapidated decay that Armstrongism is currently in.  Its rotten, moldy and decaying.

So what earth shattering thing that happened at this site that requires pilgrimages to?

The holy coat

It was while he was working there that Russell offered to buy his older brother a new overcoat, since his had a large hole. Mr. Armstrong recorded the incident in his autobiography.

I bet HWA never imagined that his crazy followers would travel great distances to stand and stare at buildings he and brother worked in.

So what did these loyal acolytes of Gerald Flurry do next on the Holy Worship Tour?  They went to see the department store where Russell bought the coat!!!!!!

The group boarded the bus and drove to the location of the former Meier & Frank store where Mr. Armstrong selected his coat (the building is now a Macy’s department store)

Then the gang headed off to the library where HWA "studied" outdated books from the 1880's for six months instead of providing for his family.   Six months later he knew everything about Christianity and restored the true chruch........!

There they discovered something truly shocking!!!!  Never in their wildest imagination did they realize the library had a lot of books!  Imagine that!  A wide variety of books to let a reader look at all sides of an issue.

“God must have carefully directed him to show him what to look for,” deacon Bruce Young said. “There are so many books here.”

They then trekked off to stare with glazed over eyes at two former homes of HWA and his family.

The tour stopped at two houses where the Armstrong family had lived. Lowry reminded members of what Mr. Armstrong wrote in his autobiography about the many miracles that happened there, including the “18-second prayer” asking for healing of his wife, much-needed food, firewood, money for a hospital bill and a new overcoat.

Just further proof on how sick Armstrongism/Flurryism truly is!

UCG: World Is In Abject Ungodly Lawlessness While We Try And Find New Younger Leaders

Roy Holladay sent out a letter to the UCG membership the other day bemoaning the fact that UCG needs some new faces in its leadership and that the world is in "abject ungodly lawlessness."

The UCG keeps reelecting the same tired old men over and over for the last 20 some years.  Until they let their men use their brains and step outside the box UCG is just going to sink further and further into oblivion.   Old and tired ways are always more comforting and safe that stepping off the edge of the cliff and reinventing yourself.

Related to this is a critical fact: we need today a new generation of leaders in development for the Church of God. This certainly is not a comment deriding our present leadership, but represents a realistic acknowledgement of a necessity for the continuation and growth of the Church. We need a fresh generation of leaders who are willing to step up, absorb, reflect, and pass on God’s way of life by their living example and by their words. As Victor reminded the ABC students –we need leaders who have lived the Word of God and who can pass it on. Paul explained the same principle to Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:2: “the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses commit these to faithful men who will be able teach others also.”


Allow me to share some personal thoughts. To me, this 21st century generation increasingly shows the signs of being biblically distinct. While we obviously don’t (and cannot) set dates (Acts 1:7), we certainly can see and experience increasing waves of abject ungodly lawlessness on a global scale. Given all that, is it possible that we are closer to the cusp of a new age–”the world to come”–the long-awaited Millennial age? Whether we are or not, Jesus emphatically said that we must act like it, that we must have a sense of deliberate and focused urgency (Matthew 24:42), regardless of where we are from a prophetic position. Will we be the generation that will bridge the gap between both worlds? Truly only God knows.
